Steam Trap Surveys

Steam Trap Surveys

Facilities without a periodic program to monitor steam trap performance and respond to failing traps typically have failure rates for 'failed open' steam traps of 15-30% of a facility's steam trap population.

For a facility with 1,000 steam traps this translates to a reduced profitability of at least several hundred thousand £ / $ / € per year in steam loss alone! And this does not take into account other full or partial failure modes - all of which compound losses.

An IRT Consult Environmental & Energy Ltd Steam Trap Survey, conducted at least annually and preferably every six months, followed by a planned maintenance programme, is the sure-fire way to maximise energy efficiency and minimise process downtime.
